Ellen, Hugh and Róisín are just some of the storm names chosen for the upcoming storm season.
The Dutch National Weather Service (KNMI) has joined Met Éireann and the UK Met Office for the first time in helping choose the names for the 2019-20 season.
The final list has been decided following public suggestions via the 'Name our Storms' campaign.
Some of the names chosen this year include Brendan, Ciara, Liam and Maura, alongside others such as Atiyah, Gerda and Willow.
A storm is formally named when orange or red-level winds are forecast to impact a significant land area.
Evelyn Cusack, head of forecasting at Met Éireann, explained: "The naming of storms by National Met Services as well as colour coding weather warnings provides a clear, authoritative and consistent message to the public and prompts people to take action to prevent harm to themselves or to their property.
"We are overwhelmed with the huge response to our public call for storm names and please don’t be too disappointed if your name hasn’t been used as you will get another chance next year."
Meanwhile, Gerard van der Steenhoven of KNMI said his organisation is looking forward to "intensifying our collaboration" with Irish and British forecasters when it comes to storm forecasting.
He suggested: "As storms are not confined to national borders, it makes a lot of sense to give common names to such extreme weather events.
"As many people are traveling - sometimes on a daily basis - between our countries, the use of common names will make it a lot easier for them to appreciate the hazards represented by a large storm system."
